Seems like a great plug-in, just started playing with it.
I'm trying to weight map a skirt and I've weighted the outer layer. I was thinking this tool might be good for copying the weights for the inner layer of the skirt, but as copypasteing won't work with clusters, it's a bit hard. Is there a good way to go about doing this, or should I just copy a few polygons at a time?
Sorry if this was a stupid question. And thanks a lot for the plug-in

Not sure if you need a plugin for that, use GATOR to copy weights over.

Oh right. I just thought it would be a hassle to cut a piece of the geometry out and merge it back in. But it was pretty easy once I tried it. Thanks a lot.
Although it would be nice to automate this process somehow. So that I could just paint away and all the weights would be copied to the other side. Anyways, I'm getting off topic. Thanks again.

Yes when the other geo is close by, and it's in point context, GATOR works great.
If you were to copy/paste from sample context like UVs, GATOR had some issues, at least last time I tried, so I think I'd try topo-clipboard for something like that first.

Hello !
I have noticed that the "Cap marked hole" command add a point on an open edge selection like this :
I write a script for this and which can work with multiple objects at once (which use "rcCapHoles" command of course).
set mySelection = createObject ("XSI.Collection")
mySelection.AddItems Application.Selection
set myCollNewPolygon = createObject ("XSI.Collection")
for each currentSel in mySelection
if currentSel.Type = "edgeSubComponent" then
for each currentNestedObj in currentSel.NestedObjects
if currentNestedObj.Type = "primitive" then
set currentObj = currentNestedObj.Parent
set myGeo = currentObj.ActivePrimitive.Geometry
nbPointBefore = myGeo.Points.Count
'logMessage "nbPointBefore = " & nbPointBefore
SelectGeometryComponents currentSel
rcCapHoles
nbPointAfter = myGeo.Points.Count
'logMessage "nbPointAfter = " & nbPointAfter
myPointSelection = ""
for i = nbPointBefore to nbPointAfter - 1
myPointSelection = myPointSelection & ", " & i
next
if nbPointBefore <> nbPointAfter then
ApplyTopoOp "Collapse", currentObj.FullName & ".pnt[" & myPointSelection & "]", siUnspecified, siPersistentOperation
end if
myCollNewPolygon.AddItems Application.Selection
end if
next
end if
next
SelectGeometryComponents myCollNewPolygon
I don't know if you can/want integrate this on your plug-in but it would be nice.
In any case I hope not to hurt you with my suggestions.
Cheers.

Oh of course all contributions are welcome! I'll build this in for the next release, maybe I'll wrap the multi select code around some other functions as well.

Hi,
thanks for this cool plugin! A beginner question, though:
how do you select, say, every 2nd edge of an edge loop?
I got it to work with polygons, but are edges working as well?
Thanks!
Eugen

Hello I am having this error. I know it is not related to the RCTools but for something I am doing wrong
# WARNING : RcTools: Symmetrize doesn't work when there is more than 1 symmetry axis.
How do I fix this to Flip topology to get a right shape.
Thx

Hello,
The symmetrize function works only for 1 symmetry plane (axis was a bad choice of a word there)
if there's 2 or more planes it can't decide what side where to pick the information from.
it could also be that just one island of your model has more than 1 plane (like the eyeballs). Then it fails too.

edited my earlier answer because it was wrong

Oh, now I get it I was getting crazy to find what was the axis.
Thx a lot.

Thank you friends, everything is decided. When I reinstalled the plugin from under the admin (User win10)
